Days Hotel by Wyndham University Ave SE
The staff is very friendly and cordial. The hotel is noisy with hall traffic, rooms have few amenities, no microwave and pretty basic bare bones...

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America
Radisson Blu Mall of America
Clean room, friendly/supportive staff and proximity. Minuses: pool closed on site (I learned about it at check in, however I may have missed something), no microwave in the room nor on each floor for accessibility (at least 1 on each floor would help) and I had to request housekeeping. Not too happy ...
